{10 Things I Learned This Weekend...}


1. This shirt and bow tie combo from Topman is too cute.
2. Turns out scrabble letters make for a rather darling wedding card.
3. Warwick Castle is a building that oozes confidence and grandeur.
4. Sunshine-laden walks through the park are simply perfect.


5. There might have been some excited yelps upon finding out that I won the fantastic Jonathan Adler giveaway hosted by Beth at Nest Interior Design. Yeah!
6. Bonnie reminded me how much I like geometric patterns with this snap of the floor at The Standard Grill, NYC.
7. More excitement as I discovered I won David's Savoir Faire giveaway.
8. The parcel which arrived from a great friend contained back issues of ReadyMade and made my weekend.
9. A bowl of spaghetti (lashed with cracked black pepper) is my ultimate comfort food.
10. SALT is not a good movie.

  1. Congratulations on winning the giveaway! What a cool piece! Also, totally agreed on the pasta. Spaghetti Bolognese is my go-to, I am simply enamored with it!

  4. Congratulations on the win and on the parcel from your friend. How wonderful isn't it to arrive home and find an exciting big envelope on the doorstep!
    Your list of 10 is wonderful - love the concept. This time is no different. The 'butter shoe' is fabulous as is the shirt (very Eddie..!). Love Warwick castle and long walks in the park - especially in Autumn.

    Have a great start to the week.
